  Tip

When you want to create a communication channel between various departments for the execution of a particular order you can create a "Discussion" for the purpose. You can add any number of users to it and this team can communicate with each other. The trail of the communication remains in the order forever. These users do not get access to the Sales Order data at the same time they can communicate with each other. One can also upload related drawings, specifications or images in the discussions.

 

  Did you know?

Did you know that it is possible to add multiple consignee locations in a single order.

  Best Practice

After every version release, the coordinator must understand the significance of each feature and assign rights to appropriate users. The coordinator must also ask the users to attend the Version Update Workshop wherever necessary. This will significantly boost the utility of OurSys.

  Case Study

Using "Do not consider in MRP" setting

Customer Introduction:

This customer is a press shop using nesting software for cutting sheets.

Problem / Goal:

Upon running the MRP program, OurSys calculated the shortfall of sheets based on the standard BOM. But the requirement of sheets is based on Nesting and thus cannot be calculated using the BOM. It was required to exclude sheets from the MRP.

The Solution:

We introduced a setting in the Item master called ?Do not consider for MRP?. All such items like sheets can now be marked as ?Yes? in this setting and thus get excluded from the MRP calculation.

The Result / Benefits:

The company was not using MRP due to incorrect requisitions getting generated for sheets. With this change, they were able to exclude sheets and run the MRP program. This in turn resulted in better planning and inventory management.
